The sound of analog
by Paul McGowan
For those of you that followed along with our series on designing and building the PowerBase I thought I'd share with you a short behind the scenes video you might enjoy watching. You can click on this link to view the video.
We've been focusing on the Art of Listening for a few days and one of my readers wrote in and asked an interesting question: "what is the sound on analog"?
I have certainly used the term analog sounding to describe the opposite of digital sounding more than a few times. On the face of it it sounds obvious what it must be: analog is the "real" sound while digital is the "wanna be" sound. The goal of digital is to sound as close to analog as possible. Right?
When you think about it in those terms one might say "slow down, it's the sound of live music we're trying to reproduce". And so it is.
But I think it's a fascinating question and one I'd like to explore a bit tomorrow (it is Saturday after all).
